Brinkley wasn’t at the doctor’s office for herself, but for her daughter. However, a small concern caught the doctor’s attention. «The Doctor was looking at each freckle with a magnifying glass… it wasn’t my appointment, so I wasn’t going to say anything, but at the VERY end I asked if he could just look at a little tiny dot I could feel as I applied my foundation,» she recounted. The doctor acted swiftly, performing a biopsy on the spot, which led to her diagnosis of skin cancer.

A Cowboy And An Atheist
It is always interesting when you strike up a conversation with somebody you’ve never met before. It doesn’t happen often but when it does, there is typically something to learn.
Of course, it helps if you are properly matched with the other person you are speaking with. That wasn’t the case when a cowboy and an atheist met up on a flight.
What started out as a normal conversation quickly took on an ugly tone. It’s a good thing the cowboy used all of his wisdom to shut the atheist down.
